Roblox is enlisting two creators to teach its community about the finer points of in-game item creation. A “UGC interview” with Robloxers Reverse_Polarity and Madison_Hatter2 serves as a guide for aspiring creators who wish to develop and sell user-generated goods on the sandbox platform.
The videos in question can be found on a YouTube channel called Roblox Learn, which is full of tutorials that apply to the titular game. An accompanying Roblox blog post explains that the collabs with Reverse_Polarity and Madison_Hatter2 are designed to help out asset designers who are just getting started. “This series of videos is geared towards anyone who’s never built anything in Roblox or for creators looking for extra guidance on how to succeed on the platform,” reads the post.

Beyond their joint interview, the two featured creators also star in adjacent videos that delve into specific aspects of UGC creation in the Roblox ecosystem. Reverse_Polarity leads an explainer on modeling, while Madison_Hatter2 takes on the topic of texturing.
The series aims to increase the proliferation of user-generated items — a commodity that potentially benefits both Roblox and its creator community. In-game items rank among the top earners for Roblox creators, who collectively raked in nearly $1 billion during the 2024 calendar year. For Roblox, more items means more commerce and more growth, which can in turn accelerate efforts in areas like advertising and branded content.
The decision to involve popular creators in the series — Reverse_Polarity has more than 100,000 Roblox followers on his own — is also intriguing. Roblox has frustrated users by being opaque about the factors that go into its game recommendation decisions. Though the platform has vowed to improve in that regard, creator-led content offers discoverability in a different form. Roblox may not have a creator leaderboard like Fortnite does, but it still boasts a stable of high-profile community members. Through the Roblox Learn channel, those creators can share their findings with the masses.
